Miia asked what I’m wearing this autumn and recalled the coordinates entry I posted while packing for Tokyo this spring. Asked if I could do a similar wardrobe post again for autumn. So this is for you Miia :P :deco3:

Since this isn’t a “trip” coordinates post, I’m not limited by luggage size and vacation duration. I didn’t come up with any “theme” beforehand either but instead am just showing exactly which pieces I go for from my closet right now.

It’s on average 50°F~75°F out each day and will continue probably until October ends. I went through my clothes last Friday and packed away a few more things while pulling out a nice big donation-sized bag of cardigans and tops not worn much in the past year.

It’s a little winter and still a little summer with the printed Rinka tee and loose shorts. Thinner fabrics overall as well. I often pair tights with these on cooler days or at night. The rest of my clothes are either too summer or too winter to wear right now. :)

So these are the pieces for my favorite coordinates right now. Of course it excludes office attire but I do often use many of these pieces for work. Like pairing the denim boyshirt with a black wool work skirt or adding a cardigan and black heels to the dot dress! I often wear the pencil skirt to work as well.

Oh YESS~ this makes me really look forward to cleaning out my closet. Essentials, Michelle, essentials. I wish I got your keen eye – that or just you in the flesh to help me pick out keepers and what to part with forever.

I’m inspired! Next time I travel (hopefully to Spain in January or Feb.) I’m going to try to pack after a theme! I can’t get over the sweater with sheep! LOVE IT! And that handbag ♥__♥ You really have great taste!

I love this post so much. Everything’s beautiful and this motivates me to start wearing autumn outfits (I tend to stick with summer wears because I don’t wanna let summer go and end up catching a cold)
Thank youuuuu~

Uniclo also did a little lookbook thing with some of the Japanese magazines. Now I want to go through my closet and organize my autumn outfits. I usually wear the same 5 outfits every week. Haha I’m boring…

I totally bought the same Madewell chambray shirt last weekend. It is sooo comfy and I like the nautical button accent ^.^ Since it still summer season in San Diego(in the 90s this weekend!), I have to wait before I can wear any sweaters. I wanted that sheep sweater SO BAD, but knew I would not wear it for months. But that chambray top works for nighttime.

Every item of your autumn wardrobe looks great ! I love how your wardrobe is always so well-thought-out. Ah you must look so cute with this beret ! I’m looking forward to see your outfit/coordinate posts !

Very autumn-y! Not sure if you take requests, but it would be great to see how you work with your shoes! For people like me with only one pair of running shoes, one pair of flats, and one pair of winter boots, it would be great to get some clothes-shoe inspiration! XD

i looooooooove this post, im totally going to copy it, but seriously i just love how you’ve weened down your closet and only keep they essentials, I have done the same thing and it feels great I flounder less getting dressed and why not only have pieces you LOOOOOVE?

I definitely know this feeling! I had so much stuff in my wardrobe that I didn’t even like, but held on to just so I had more clothes to wear. I got tired of settling so I tossed all that old ugly stuff and bought a heap of new clothes; only buying stuff that I absolutely love. Such a good feeling!

I really really enjoyed reading this post since I’m in the transitioning process of weeding out my wardrobe and figuring out my style =3 I love that red peacoat you have and contemplated on buying the same madewell sweater with the sheeps! (yeah I know it’s suppose to be “sheep” but I still say sheeps lol)
